Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 752

Chapter 752 Asked To Return

Sean thought Benjamin was merely trying to be funny, yet it turned out that he was serious about it. On the fifth day after Amelia’s return to Tayhaven, Benjamin said solemnly to Sean, “I dreamed of your mom last night, Sean. She told me Amelia Winters was her incarnation. She must’ve done that because she was worried I’d be lonely. That’s why I’ve decided—I’m going to Tayhaven.”

Sean felt his head throbbing dully. “Dad, you must be missing Mom too much. Why don’t you come back and take charge of the company? I’ll help you out and follow your every instruction.” He decided to make a compromise.

“Why should I return when I’ve already left the company in your care? I promised your mom I’d take her on trips when we got older. She left before we could do so, but I’m sure she must’ve missed me so much, and that’s why she came back as Amelia. So, this time, I’ll watch her closely and never let her leave my side.”

Benjamin then took out several travel books. “I’ve prepared these. I’ll take your mom to whichever country she wants. Since she once told me she loves waterfalls, I’m going to bring her to countries that have them so that she can see them with her own eyes. She also mentioned adoring monkeys; I’ll buy a lot for her so she can take care of them when the time comes. I’ll get her everything she wants and never make her angry again.”

Sean’s headache intensified. “Dad, stop messing around. Amy is your daughter; you should know that better than anyone else. Mom has left us. No matter whether you can accept it, that’s the fact.”

“Nonsense.” Benjamin was infuriated. “You’re the one who told me she looks exactly like your mom. How can they share the same appearance if they aren’t the same person?”

Sean was about to say something when Benjamin aggressively interrupted, “That’s enough. Your mom wouldn’t lie to me. I’ve hurt her for more than twenty years. I have to help her take care of Amy no matter what.”

“Dad…”

“Focus on managing the company. I’m taking your sister to Tayhaven.”

“Dad, don’t you try to do anything funny.”

“Sean, if you continue to stop me, I’ll get the lawyers to amend my will and leave all my assets to your sister.”

Sean fell silent at once.

Satisfied, Benjamin instructed the maid to bring him his packed luggage. Likewise, Amelia also came over with hers.

“We can leave now, Dad.”

The two left Sean overwhelmed by frustration. Yet, he still could not quite figure out what ulterior motives they were planning.

“Amelia, if you want a job, I can make arrangements and get you a position as the vice president of the company. There’s no need to head over to Tayhaven.”

“Sean, you should know what’s on my mind. Finding a job isn’t exactly my main purpose. As for Dad, he’s rather adamant that Amy is Mom. I gave it some thought and figured it was quite true. Otherwise, there’s no way they could share such an uncanny resemblance.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Dad is acting that way because he just lost the love of his life. Why are you like this too? Believe it or not, I can cut off all your credit cards!”

“Sean, I don’t think you can do that. Those are under Dad’s name.”

Sean was completely at a loss for words.

Watching Benjamin and Amelia leave, he felt a terrible ache in his head.

Subsequently, he called Oscar and gave a full account of the situation. He also asked the latter to look out for Benjamin.

Upon hanging up the call, Oscar scoffed coldly.

Benjamin thinks Amelia is Mrs. Hutton, huh? How amusing. Wasn’t he the one who kept calling Amelia a bastard when she and Mrs. Hutton were mother and daughter? Now that Mrs. Hutton has passed away, he thinks Amelia is the incarnation of his wife. What an illogical mindset! I wonder what ulterior motives he has for trying to get near Amelia. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeves!

As much as the Hutton family was sufficiently powerful and affluent, they were not capable enough of doing anything significant in Tayhaven.

Oscar immediately instructed his men to head to the airport to stop them and bring them to the organization right after.

Hence, as soon as Benjamin and Amelia stepped out of the airport, several men in suits immediately stopped them and directed them into a vehicle.

Benjamin stared at those men and bellowed, “Who are you?”

Just as they were growing impatient, Oscar made his appearance.

“O-Oscar?” Amelia jumped up from the couch in disbelief. “Why is it you?”

Oscar threw her a glance and strode up to take a seat on the couch opposite them. “Mr. Hutton, I heard from your son that you’ve taken my wife as Mrs. Hutton. I’m curious about what’s going through your mind?”

Benjamin let out a weak laugh and switched his position as he placidly responded, “I know Lia is my daughter. It’s just that she shares so much resemblance to my wife. That’s why I decided to visit her here. About a month before Eleanor’s death, she implored me to take good care of Lia. As it’s her last wish, I can’t disappoint her.”

“Are you sure it’s because of that? Or is it because of your selfish desires? I heard from Mr. Sean that you intend to do something to your daughter. It’s utterly disgusting. Hence, I decided to get my men to invite you over for a chat before you tried to do something irrational because of your longing for your dead wife.”

Benjamin curled the edges of his lips into a faint smile. “Rest assured. I’m not sick to the extent that I’d make a move on my daughter. I purely want to see her. I don’t think it’s a crime for a father to visit his daughter, right?”

“It indeed isn’t.” Oscar was seemingly in some deliberation before he changed the subject. “I have ordered my men to prepare a private jet for the two of you. You should return to Saspiuburg. Tayhaven isn’t the place for you.”

“Oscar, you should know very well that I’ll still come back even if I return to Saspiuburg,” Benjamin stated mildly.

Oscar flashed a smirk. “The next time you come here, you will most likely return with a broken or missing limb.”

“What do you mean by that, Oscar?”

“It’s exactly what the words imply.”

Benjamin sprang up from the couch and uttered, “Since you don’t wish for us to meet Lia, we shall take our leave then. We won’t trouble you to prepare that private jet for us either.”

“Dad…”

“Let’s go.”

With that, Oscar sent them out of the building. To be at ease, he also ordered his men to tail the father and daughter duo and watch them board the plane at the airport.
